Amazon Developing RoboCop TV Series

Amazon MGM Studios is progressing with a new RoboCop television series, with Peter Ocko set as the writer, executive producer, and showrunner, while horror director James Wan will executive produce through his Atomic Monster banner. The series will follow a tech conglomerate collaborating with a police department to introduce a cyborg enforcer, echoing the themes of the original 1987 film. This development comes after Amazon's acquisition of MGM, where RoboCop was identified as a key property for revival. Ocko has extensive writing credits, including shows like The Office and Lodge 49, and Wan is known for his work on The Conjuring and Saw franchises. While no casting details or release date have been announced, the project marks a renewed interest in the RoboCop franchise, which has included multiple films and series since its inception. The RoboCop franchise began with the iconic film in 1987, followed by sequels and various adaptations across different media.
